BC1-1808 Homework, Miranda van Elst

Once created, each week before midnight reply to that thread as you would have in this main thread: "Week # Homework Submission" in bold at the top followed by a sentence or two about how your homework experience went / what you learned / any tips to share, and finally an image of your submission.

I really look forward to seeing what everyone will come up with and learning from you all! Got a few things I struggle with (good topology, good / smart workflow, hard surface stuff, texturing, shading, etc.) so my goal for this class is to just do my best and hopefully getting some feedback on how to improve. Also I hope to help some of you by answering your questions if I can. We're all in this learning adventure together right? So let's have some fun guys and create some cool stuff 😄

Thanks for starting your homework thread, Miranda! This will be a huge help to me in keeping track of everything. I just hope it doesn't deter other participants from engaging with each other's threads.

All right, time to send in some homework! I did the primitives exercise a few weeks ago and struggled a bit, so I wanted to make a new one for class to see if I could improve on the things I had difficulties with. Learned a lot about shaping primitives in object mode that I didn't knew before, especially with the properties panel that you get right after adding an object. Also about snapping which I didn't use well the first time.

And here's a picture of the star wars tie fighter I made this time. I'm kind of a nerd so I had a blast making this one 😄 Totally misjudged the amount of work I was getting myself into! Thought I would finish in a day or two, boy was I wrong, it took me a full week (had a headstart last week).

Also a link to my blend file to pick apart if you like. This is my first time using dropbox so let me know if the link doesn't work.

ccarrotnl Thank you Wilco! I'm pretty sure I didn't have too much experience beforehand 😉 I did do the blender guru donut series first, tried his anvil series and failed because of difficulty, then I joined cg cookie. Happy I did learned a lot here!

THAT TIE FIGHTER....I had to open your .blend file to see if it all was actually made of primitives. It's true 😳

I'm very impressed. What a huge leap from your first attempt to this one. A++ in my book based on quality and the extra mile of doing the exercise twice for this class. Fantastic job, ssmurf">smurfmier1985 👏

The first tutorial I followed was blender guru's donut series, about a week before I joined cg cookie. But the first model where I tried to make something myself was actually the mesh modeling exercise from the beginner learning flow, had a robot theme going on there 😎
